Baby Steps

I decided, with the new year that has just begun, what better way than to create a new blog, to pen down my thoughts and ideas and really, what ever that comes to mind especially now with me being pregnant. Hence the name for the blog. I think its rather cute and so true in so many ways! I will still be keeping my old blog on tumblr alive for a while i guess.(Least till i get bored of that and decide to shut it down as well.) This blog however will strictly be about my journey to mummyhood, and of course, the ramblings when our baby is born.

Being pregnant is indeed the most beautiful feeling in the world. Its weird at first, because you are not used to this new changes, but as time goes by, it just gets more exciting. From the first time you go to the doctors and get an ultrasound done, to seeing that tiny little heartbeat and later on finding out the sex of the baby. Then you start feeling the movements when your baby grows bigger, earliest stages of feeling movement and kicks would be in the 4th month, however, for me, i started feeling the movements and kicks only in the 5th month, and that, is the best feeling in the world. =)

I have to admit though, from modeling to hanging up my heels for a bit, its been tough. I've loved modeling, and everything that comes along with it for years and have passionately joined at least one competition a year. But then you sit and think, there's bigger more beautiful things that are about to take place. Since i've hanged up my heels, i sure have been packing on the pounds! From weighing just 52kg, i now weigh 60! (I am a cow...hear me "MOO") LOL.

Oh yes, most common question i have been getting is am i having a baby boy or a girl...so.......Been planning out so many things for her arrival, from picking an ideal cot, to changing bed, pram, wardrobe, her clothes. OMG! You can go crazy with buying baby clothes, all of them so cute and pretty. Sham, my partner has specifically told me not to go on mental and buy everything in PINK. It's been very hard, because for some reason, everything looks that much prettier in pink. But fine, not so much pink. But 60% pink is fine right? LOL

I'll leave you all with this for now. I'll post up pictures soon too. Thanks for reading and most importantly, sharing my journey with me too. Much love.

A baby brewing, again?!

I can't thank the people who have followed my blog from the get-go for all your words of encouragement and love. Thank you for pushing me to write again. It warms my heart to hear when my readers tell me they enjoyed reading my journey and somehow felt like they were right there with me too. Big love to you all.  Here i am sitting down and staring at the screen. I feel rusty. I haven't done this in a while. My last post was, well ages ago! But - hello! Seeing as i set up this baby blog of mine some 6 years ago, i felt it is only right that i continue writing in it seeing as, as most of you would know by now, i am baking baby number 2 in the oven! I'm in the last leg of my pregnancy now. I'd call it the 'uncomfortable' stage.  Where you feel like a whale,  your legs are sore,  your body's aching and the baby is kicking like there's no tomorrow.  But,  kicking is good.  Kick away baby,  so momma knows you're growing well.  So let's ...

New Paper New Face 2011

Hey! Today, i bring you news about this year's New Face competition! :) For those of you who don't live here in Singapore, the New Face competition is one of the biggest modeling competitions held here. It had unearthed beauties from all walks of life and many of whom has made quite a name for themselves in the industry. It has helped so many girls shine and achieve their goals, and i am glad to say, i made it to Top 20 last year and have graduated to the very prestigious alumni of New Face girls. :) Every year since i joined the modeling industry, i entered a competition, to better myself and gain confidence. I remember i started off with Singtel Grid Girls back in 2008 and not having much confidence at all. But the New Face competition was something i had wanted to join since the age of 15. It took me another 2 years, to build up that confidence to go to the walk-in auditions and i am glad i did. (Spot me if you can!) It has been such an amazing experience for me, i learned s...

Labour Pains: The Great Delivery!

HEY! HEY! I was nicely counting down during one of my last few posts that i had 16 days left to my EDD. So rewind back to the week before last week, i was looking forward to Wednesday (6th April) because, one, my bestfriend Kaimana was touching down in sunny Singapore and i finally was gonna be able to spend 3 long weeks with her before she flies back home. (She lives in Alaska) She's also the Godmother of my princess, and in a way, she was also flying back for the delivery as well as her sister's and mum's birthday. I also had my weekly checkup with my OBGYN to check on my baby. So i was fully looking forward to WEDNESDAY!! So the bestfriend and her sister met me at the clinic for my checkup. (It's great to have your bestfriend by your side!!) My doc had to check how dilated i was to determine how soon or how late my delivery would be. DR HENG : Hmm...you're only 1cm dilated. Don't think baby is coming anytime soon. Also your baby's head is very low. I can ...
